Here’s dat dramatic Naoto gif for you lol
TALK TO THE HAND
I wish I could have kept it at a bigger size and better quality bigger but tumblr is dumb and it wouldn’t animate if the file size is larger than like 500kb >_>
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CONTEXT IS BUT JFC IT MADE MY NIGHT
Naoto you sassy mother fucker. God I want to watch the stage shows so badly ;__; Has anyone seen them? Are they full of kannao?!
All. Of. This. Especially the 2nd one, the 3rd one, the 5th one, and the 6th one. This is because:
a) I guess black girls don’t look lesbian enough, unless if they’re super butch? Oh we also don’t look like geeks either. Even though I worked at GameStop and wore fucking companion cubes in my ears
b) I’ve never been intimate with a guy. I’ve messed around with them and had a boyfriend in high school, but we never went all the way. So then I got the question, “How do you know? You haven’t been with a guy.”
c) I double majored in English and Women’s Studies. That’s Women’s Studies part triggered some red flags. Clearly, Women’s Studies would make me hate all men.
d) It’s just a phase.
Here’s the truth:
a) NOT ALL LESBIANS WILL HAVE SHORT HAIR AND WEAR FLANNEL! NOT ALL LESBIANS WILL DRESS IN WHAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE MASCULINE CLOTHING! Some do, yes, but not all of them. There is no “lesbian” look. In the same breath, NOT ALL GAY MEN WILL BE FLAMBOYANT! Some will, yes, but not all! Here’s a secret: most gay/lesbian people? Look. Like. Everyone. Else. GASP! I KNOW, RIGHT?! This go for geeks. NOT ALL GEEKS ARE GOING TO LIVE IN THEIR MOTHER’S BASEMENT, BE OVERWEIGHT, BE AWKWARD, and all that’s in between. Some are, yes, but not all. (my upcoming short story for Dreamspinner actually touches on this, as it has a black, attractive geek, and the lead character is surprised by it).
b) JUST BECAUSE A WOMAN ISN’T WITH A MAN DOESN’T MEAN SHE NEEDS TO BE WITH ONE TO FIGURE OUT IF SHE’S A LESBIAN! Guess what? Sometimes, women just know that they’re attracted to other women. Or, in my case, they fall in love with another woman. Same with men. WHY DOESN’T ANYONE ASK STRAIGHT WOMEN, “Dur you’ve never been with a woman how do you know you’re not a lesbian?” Because they just know, right? Well, so do we.
c) WOMEN’S STUDIES DOES NOT MAKE YOU HATE MEN! It makes you want everyone to be equal, it makes you want everyone to have a voice, regardless of gender, sexual preference, race, and all that’s in between. It makes you aware of the issues in our society that you might not have been aware of unless you were a victim of them. Or, in my case, you know about the racial issues because you’re black, but you never think about the gender issues because NO ONE addressed them to me. Sure, I got the, “Dur girls don’t play video games,” but that’s about it, honestly. Now, black issues? Yeah that’s been talked about since high school. I knew about the struggles of my race, but not about my gender. I also knew such things because of my family talking to me. The ONLY women talk was that, “Let’s separate the boys and girls and talk about menstruation ”
And you know what? Women’s Studies went beyond just women’s issues. It was more “cultural/social issues” and not just “women.” In a way, Women’s Studies made me appreciate men more. It made me appreciate the good men I had in my life. I have an awesome, AWESOME dad, who took great care of me. And it wasn’t for some tragic “something happened to my mom” reason. Women’s Studies made me see that, you know, we talk a lot about the terrible men, but never seem to appreciate the good. Or, if they are good, we assume there’s a reason behind it, or it’s a lie. I would talk about how I grew up with my dad and some people would assume he was FORCED into it, like, “Something happened to your mom, right?” No, actually. Instead of having my mom struggle to raise me in her apartment in Chicago, I moved in with my dad who was getting remarried and getting a house. That man would take me to see my mom every weekend since I was 9 years old. He would go pick her up to go see my school functions if she couldn’t get a ride to them since she didn’t drive. And my parents always, always told their new significant others that I came first. That if they couldn’t understand that my father was taking me to see my mother and seeing her on a weekly basis, too bad. Hell, my dad took care of my older brother, and he wasn’t even his son. But you know what? In my brother’s obituary my dad is named his father. His father ran off on my mom shortly after he was born. She was 16. When my dad met my mom, he helped with my brother, so much so that I thought we had the same dad until I was 10.
SO I DON’T HATE MEN! How can I when I had such a great influence in my dad? And my brother? There is no hatred here, so STOP THINKING THAT!
d) FUCK YOU IT’S BEEN 11 YEARS IT’S NOT A GODDAMN PHASE!

I LOVE ANGELINA JOLIE
Reblogging because. Yep, just that reason. Because.
Guys, this is my little brother, Reese. He just turned eight last March, and he is in second grade. He had found that he prefers guys to girls. When he told his friends that at recess, they threw rocks at him. Rocks. He came home crying, saying that his friends had called him names like “faggot” and “homo”. Second graders called him these names. I explained to him that it is perfectly okay to be gay, and that I will still love him no matter what. Unfortunately, my parents don’t agree. He’s been set apart from the family and his friends for his sexuality, that he has no control over. I’m not doing this for notes or to gain followers. I’m doing this to show Reese he will be accepted by many people no matter what sexuality he is. Reblog if you support my eight year old brother, no matter his sexuality.
I’m so sorry that happened to him =[ just let him know real friends will always accept him for who he is, no matter what, and if they don’t, then they’re not real friends. I met my best friend in third grade so hopefully he will meet a lifelong friend soon =]
Much love to this kid.
Another sketchdump for Aoi-hikari-chan/lucineblue - this time of Kannao! :3 Lots of fun to draw these babies~~~
LOOK AT LOOK AT LOOK AT LOOK AT LOOK AT!!!
A conversation between me and my wifey this morning:
Me: If the book sells well I want to take you somewhere nice
Her: It might be kind of cute if it didn’t sell too well right away and you took me to like McDonalds
Me: LOL! But we want it to sell well!
Her: Of course we do! Just saying that it would be cute if the first check went to McDonalds
Me: All right! If it doesn’t sell too well, I’ll take you to McDonalds
Her: If it does good, you can take me to Wendys
Me: And we’ll sit inside and eat!
Her: And if it does amazingly well, you can take me to Culvers
Me: And if it hits bestseller status I’ll take you to either Five Gives or Red Robin… or Fat Burger in Vegas
Her: Sounds like a plan!
Yes we just categorized how to celebrate the book’s success by way of hamburgers.
This is a thing that happened this morning.
Can we talk about how Elementary casted a trans*woman as a trans*woman
Can we talk about how they didn’t make her storyline about how she is trans* AND she was seen as something desirable
Can we talk about how she had OCD but it wasn’t something that was made fun of or a big deal at all, nor did it define her character
Can we talk about how in the scene where Watson was changing on camera, they didn’t make it sexual nor objectified her body whatsoever.
Can we talk about the huge amount of minorities in the Elementary cast, ALONG WITH A MAIN CHARACTER BEING A WOMAN OF COLOR
Can we talk about how changing Watson into a woman didn’t change the dynamic of Sherlock and Watson’s relationship whatsoever, thus showing that a man and a woman can be friends without any romantic entanglements whatsoever, and the writers intend to keep it that way
Can we just talk about HOW FUCKING PERFECT ELEMENTARY IS AND IF YOU DON’T WATCH IT JUST BECAUSE WATSON IS A WOMAN THAN YOU’RE MISSING OUT
